Set in Depression-era Alabama in the 1930s, To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of an idealistic white lawyer who takes the case of a black man falsely accused of committing an awful crime against a white woman. With six-year-old Scout as the storyteller, we see the effects of racism, ignorance and injustice. This excellent film is a thought-provoking interpretation of the Pulitzer Prize winning book by author Harper Lee and features a strong cast of actors that suck you in as the story unfolds.

i though what to kill a mockingbird was very good as it showed how bad it was that i man who was innocent was blamed just becaues he was black. it shows us just how much the world has changed. i like the film because it show you the right from wrong.

Fascinating facts

Philip Alford was persuaded to audition for the part of Jem Finch because he would miss half a day of school.
